Frozen

High in the Himalayas in a remote village lives Karma, a middle aged man who makes and sells apricot jam. He lacks the equipment that his competitors have and struggles to keep up. His children, teenage Lasya and her younger brother Chomo are none the less happy. Laysa is an impulsive teenager living in a dream world. They are surrounded by snowcapped mountains and harsh barren land that stretches for miles. The outside world has not touched them.

While Karma and his family are at the market, he to sell his jam, and the children to enjoy the fair, the army moves in. They return to find the army less than a hundred yards from their door. Having set up base they threaten to requisition their entire plot of land, citing security concerns. Losing their last bit of comfort, their formerly familiar surroundings, life becomes a never ending conflict.
